Tulsa, OK: Today, Congressman Rod Blum (R-IA) officially endorsed Captain Andy Coleman in his race for U.S. Congress. Congressman Blum serves as a conservative Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“I am pleased to endorse Andy Coleman for Congress,” expressed Congressman Blum. “Andy will be a strong constitutional conservative who will fight to drain the swamp, protect our borders, enact term limits and defund Planned Parenthood. As a veteran, Andy is no stranger to tough fights and I am confident he is ready to take on the liberal establishment. We need determined conservatives like Andy Coleman fighting alongside us in Washington to make American great again.”

“I deeply appreciate Congressman Blum’s support,” stated Coleman. “He is a principled leader who has faithfully stood for the conservative values we share, and backed up what he says with action. I look forward to doing the same soon, as Oklahoma’s newest congressman."

Blum’s endorsement follows a series of high-profile endorsements for Coleman’s campaign, including former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, Congressman Jim Jordan, Congressman Mark Meadows, and Dr. Everett Piper. Coleman has also received the endorsement of multiple conservative organizations, including the Combat Veterans for Congress, the Club for Growth, and the Madison Project.

Captain Andy Coleman is seeking the Republican nomination for the open congressional seat in Oklahoma’s First District. He is an Air Force Academy graduate, former military intelligence officer, and veteran of Iraq. Coleman previously served with conservative organizations like the Federalist Society and Christian Legal Society. In recent years, Coleman led field efforts to aid persecuted Christians in hostile and restricted countries for the Voice of the Martyrs, a Christian ministry based in Bartlesville. Andy and his wife Liz reside in Owasso with their three children.
